What does your trunk look like?

[mohooba93]

well today i opened my trunk and noticed the arms on both sides were different. never really noticed this before as i dont really look at them when i open the trunk. one had a black plastic cover over the arm and the other was exposed metal. are all 9-3s like this or someone in trollhattan forget to put one on the other side? i know this might sound like a useless question again but i am just trying to make sure i have everything covered before my first dealership visit this week.

we supposed its for wires that go to lights. but it looks cheap, they should have just covered the other metal arm because it looks kinda cheap.

And the answer is:

Missing Trunk Hinge Plastic Cover!

There is a body-colored plastic cover only on the left side trunk hinge, who's purpose is to supposedly cover wires, neaten the appearance & prevent wires from catching on items in the trunk. There is no cover on the right side (no wires).

To date no one has found a way of duplicating this cover for the right side.

Viscouse put this together and it is full of excellent info.
